Add a few very useful variables that might easily be overlooked, since
they're only documented in rc.subr(8) which might not be the first place
that people look.
At least _oomprotect has existed since 11.0-RELEASE, and doesn't appear
to be very well-known. While the others aren't as new, in my estimation,
a lot more people would use them if they knew about them.
While here, also add a reference to rc.subr(8) and login.conf(5), and
sort the variables alphabetically.

Entries for a few recently defined rc variables
were missing from rc.conf.5. This patch adds
those.
It was not obvious to me what the ordering is,
so I added them to the area where other nfsd
related variables are. I can easily move them.
I also replaced "are" with "is", since it seems to
read better.
This is a content change.

The last two drivers that required sppp are cp(4) and ce(4).
These devices are still produced and can be purchased
at Cronyx <http://cronyx.ru/hardware/wan.html>.
Since Roman Kurakin <rik@FreeBSD.org> has quit them, they no
longer support FreeBSD officially. Later they have dropped
support for Linux drivers to. As of mid-2020 they don't even
have a developer to maintain their Windows driver. However,
their support verbally told me that they could provide aid to
a FreeBSD developer with documentaion in case if there appears
a new customer for their devices.
These drivers have a feature to not use sppp(4) and create an
interface, but instead expose the device as netgraph(4) node.
Then, you can attach ng_ppp(4) with help of ports/net/mpd5 on
top of the node and get your synchronous PPP. Alternatively
you can attach ng_frame_relay(4) or ng_cisco(4) for HDLC.
Actually, last time I used cp(4) back in 2004, using netgraph(4)
instead of sppp(4) was already the right way to do.
Thus, remove the sppp(4) related part of the drivers and enable
by default the negraph(4) part. Further maintenance of these
drivers in the tree shouldn't be a big deal.
While doing that, remove some cruft and enable cp(4) compilation
on amd64. The ce(4) for some unknown reason marks its internal
DDK functions with __attribute__ fastcall, which most likely is
safe to remove, but without hardware I'm not going to do that, so
ce(4) remains i386-only.

Using /etc/jail.{jailname}.conf is nice, however it makes /etc/ very
messy if you have many jails. This patch allows one to move these
config files out of the way into /etc/jail.conf.d/{jailname}.conf.
Note that the same caveat as /etc/jail.*.conf applies: the jail service
will not autodiscover all of these for starting 'all' jails. This is
considered future work, since the behavior matches.

Support loading a default pf ruleset in case of invalid pf.conf.
If no pf rules are loaded pf will pass/allow all traffic, assuming the
kernel is compiled without PF_DEFAULT_TO_DROP, as is the case in
GENERIC.
In other words: if there's a typo in the main pf_rules we would allow
all traffic. The new default rules minimise the impact of this.
If $pf_program (i.e. pfctl) fails to set $pf_fules and
$pf_fallback_rules_enable is YES we will load $pf_fallback_rules_file if
set, or $pf_fallback_rules.
$pf_fallback_rules can include multiple rules, for example to permit
traffic on a management interface.
$pf_fallback_rules_enable defaults to "NO", preserving historic behaviour.

bootonce feature is temporary, one time boot, activated by
"bectl activate -t BE", "bectl activate -T BE" will reset the bootonce flag.
By default, the bootonce setting is reset on attempt to boot and the next
boot will use previously active BE.
By setting zfs_bootonce_activate="YES" in rc.conf, the bootonce BE will
be set permanently active.
bootonce dataset name is recorded in boot pool labels, bootenv area.
in case of nextboot, the nextboot_enable boolean variable is recorded in
freebsd:nvstore nvlist, also stored in boot pool label bootenv area.
On boot, the loader will process /boot/nextboot.conf if nextboot_enable
is "YES", and will set nextboot_enable to "NO", preventing /boot/nextboot.conf
processing on next boot.
bootonce and nextboot features are usable in both UEFI and BIOS boot.
To use bootonce/nextboot features, the boot loader needs to be updated on disk;
if loader.efi is stored on ESP, then ESP needs to be updated and
for BIOS boot, stage2 (zfsboot or gptzfsboot) needs to be updated
(gpart or other tools).
At this time, only lua loader is updated.

This change allows to specify a watchdog(9) timeout for a system
shutdown. The timeout is activated when the watchdogd daemon is
stopped. The idea is to a prevent any indefinite hang during late
stages of the shutdown. The feature is implemented in rc.d/watchdogd,
it builds upon watchdogd -x option.
Note that the shutdown timeout is not actiavted when the watchdogd
service is individually stopped by an operator. It is also not
activated for the 'shutdown' to the single-user mode. In those cases it
is assumed that the operator knows what they are doing and they have
means to recover the system should it hang.
Significant subchanges and implementation details:
- the argument to rc.shutdown, completely unused before, is assigned to
rc_shutdown variable that can be inspected by rc scripts
- init(8) passes "single" or "reboot" as the argument, this is not
changed
- the argument is not mandatory and if it is not set then rc_shutdown is
set to "unspecified"
- however, the default jail management scripts and jail configuration
examples have been updated to pass "jail" to rc.shutdown, just in case
- the new timeout can be set via watchdogd_shutdown_timeout rc option
- for consistency, the regular timeout can now be set via
watchdogd_timeout rc option
- watchdogd_shutdown_timeout and watchdogd_timeout override timeout
specifications in watchdogd_flags
- existing configurations, where the new rc options are not set, should
keep working as before
I am not particularly wed to any of the implementation specifics.
I am open to changing or removing any of them as long as the provided
functionality is the same (or very close) to the proposed one.
For example, I think it can be implemented without using watchdogd -x,
by means of watchdog(1) alone. In that case there would be a small
window between stopping watchdogd and running watchdog, but I think that
that is acceptable.
